GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES NO. 2

Have you visited the http://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.dk/  lately, to see all 

the CHALLENGE pieces , from both the DT , and all the ones taking part !!

So many fantastic creations, to be inspired by, and  : 

this challenge will run until 10am, Wednesday 2nd May. Our next challenge will start at 11am on Wednesday 2nd May.

The winner of this challenge will receive a £30 voucher to spend in our online shop and our Top 3 will receive a stencil/s of their choice from our own That's Crafty! brand.

Please make sure to read our challenge rules before entering.

My inspiration creation for this second Challenge is made on mostly 

a piece of crumpled copy paper, after adhered to a White Greyboard Panel ,

I used Multi Surface Paints in Teal and Chestnut Brown , first dabbing over the paper 

with very diluted colors. After dry I stamped the script , from Textures Collection  Stamp  Set 3 

.The big circle with a smaller inside, is actually the roll from a finished taperoll-

as I wanted a big circle . Also used is the smaller circle from .

Textures Stamp Set - 2 

Onto tissue paper, I stamped Donna Gray`s beautiful tree,from her 

Carved Whimsy Wood stamp set. I tore around the perimeter

and adhered it to the paper with Multi Purpose Craft Adhesive.

Another few circles were stamped on top of it . 

From Lynne`s Affirmations set 3 -the line of birds was stamped onto a rest of the painted copy paper,

with Sky Blue, Brilliance ink , torn out and also adhered to the paper.

The tree trunk was extended a bit, by stamping the end of the trunk , between the line of birds. and sewed and adhered to the paper, too. 

With my sewing machine I sewed around one of the big circles , with teal thread, and

cut the thread to hang ,dangling.  4 teal buttons from my stash was also sewed onto the paper .

Paper was adhered to the panel, and also a piece of canvas,netting, teal fabric ,below the

birds. Lynne`s Affirmation ,from set 1 was stamped and adhered to the teal fabric,and another

button carefully sewed on.  Around the perimeter of the panel I painted with diluted Chestnut Brown ,and stamped a few buttons, from Textures Collection Stamp Set -3.

I think this ends my rather long story, and am thanking you so very much if you followed

me all the way to here :-) 

Love and hugs

GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES

April is here ,hopefully with a lovely spring to visit too, very soon.

http://thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.dk/

This months Challenge called :" GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES "

made me think of so many possibilities, as where we look there

are circles in life . 

I chose a White Greyboard Panel ,to which I first did nothing !!

But started on a piece of normal copy paper, painting it with a mix of 

Multí Surface Paint in Green - Lime- and a little Mustard Yellow..

From the paper I tore a piece which was adhered to the panel.

I then stamped circles using stamps from :Textures Stamp-Set  2- and 3- and

also from Nature`s Faces -Set 1 by Melina .They were stamped

using Archival Ink ,Jet Black and Brilliance ,Moonlight White .

Pieces of handmade brown paper scratches were adhered to

the button and a piece of cotton lace also painted with a bit of the green mix, and brown,

was together with a handrolled rose adhered , too, forming more circles!!

The rose is made from a circle cut into a spiral ,and then ,from outside, turned around itself, and hold in place ,using a hot-Gluegun.

 A pair of Tim Holz paperdolls , and a stick from the garden  rolled 

with a green piece of fabric, and a string , were also adhered to the paper.

Making holes with my Crop A Dile and inserting sari silk ribbon , finished the project!!

.................................

This challenge will start at 11am on Wednesday 4th April.

The winner of this challenge will receive a £30 voucher to spend in our online shop and our Top 3 will receive a stencil/s of their choice from our own That's Crafty! brand.
